From time Immemorial the frailties of
human nature huvo become more and more
Apparent. The average man , however ,
rarely over confesses that he is dishonest.
In the ordinary sense there seems to bo no
good reason why Vie should. In most deals
lie pays his debts , goes his wny with other
men and bc.irs uniform confidence and respect
spoct Hut when ho touches public work *
nnd Is put on the pay rolls of a county or
state , the condition of affairs suddenly
changes , and a damaging commentary oa
liumnri nature suddenly confronts us. There
can be no wrong in boating a great state , Ho
it seems bo reasons , basing Judgment on the
general class of work he turns out. Poor
work Ims become so common ou public con
tracts tlmt nobody expects aught else.
During the day TUB HRR representative
took occasion to examine tlio plnns and spec
illcatioiis governing the work of Contractor
John Lanlmm on the capitol grounds. To
the ordinary eye everything seemingly indi
cates tlmt tlio work done and doing is of a
liigh order of excellence , but when the eye
Is put to the work and the specifications ,
dido b.v side , tlio discrepancy becomes so
apparent as to become startling ,
No one capable of iudg" > nt unon
things ordinary can fall to see tnat the dif
ferences between them nro as great as night
Is from day. The specifications are on file In
tlio ofllco of the commissioner of public lands
nnd buddings , nnd can bo heen by anyone
who caics to look Into tlio matter. Ahixst.v
perusal ot thn plans and specifications makes
it plain that the architect contemplated nn
excellence of construction and perfection of
flnlsli not oven nppi cached by Mr. Lnnlmm's
workmen. When it comes to n question of
comparison the plans become very Interest
ing reading. They recite that nil stone work
is to bo free from blemishes. Pavement of
terraces and all walks , both inside the
grounds and all around the outside , on the
four streets , are to bo of red sandstone two
and ono'hulf inches thick and laid in squares
! Hx2' ! ! upon n foundation of six inches of
clear , coarse sand. Then the pavement blocks
nro to bo laid perfectly true and level , and
the whole is to bo run over with liquid Port
land cement , well worked into thu Joints , nnd
tlio entire surface then covered with plank
ing and kept for three days upon all pave
ments , upon the removal of the planking the
surface cement is to bo cleared oft and
cleaned and the Joints rubbed down oven.
The curbing is required to bo rubbed ou both
sides und also on top , and to have rounded
edges , The stipulations also show that thu
curbing ought to bo four incites thick , and
laid ou six inches of sand , both sides to bo
well "rammed. " These requirements have
been grossly violated. Nothing has been
done tlmt even approximates this worlc , and
yet , upon the surface everything loolis well.
It will possibly he urged that Mr. Laiiham
took the contract too cheap , and that ho is
doing good enough work for the money ho
gets. The fact , however , remains Just the
Bumc , that ho contracted to do the work
under stipulated plans ami specifications ,
nnd to get the work underbid other contrac
tors ft0COl ! ) . To save himself mid come out
abend , if possible , ho docs or permits the
work to bo done in a slipshod manner , and
the state is to suiter for his stupidity and
ignorance. Up to this date ho has been paid
on estimates tlio sum of f 1(1,48,1.1)1 ( ) ! , or within
? 10,7ll. ( t of what ho ho is to receive when
the. work is pronounced finished.
The taxpayers oC the state have ariehtto
outer a protest against Lauham's receiving
another dollar ol public money tor the class
of work ho is doing. And the pertinent
qufry Is put squarely to the board of public
lands aud buildings : Is it right to pay out
state funds oa work or estimates that in no
measurable degree approximates the
plans prescribed and agreed upon. Lot it
bo understood , also , that the abortions
pointed out by Tin : HUE representative nro
by no means the worst features of the con
tract Lanbam is rushing to completion.
Gather the plans nnd compare the work sldo
by side , and it will soon be discovered that
the half has not been told.
A MAHOGANY CltOOK.
Last Sunday a well dressed colored woman
alighted from the evening Missouri PaciHc
passenger train , a strangorin a striuigo land.
She passed along the streets as proudly as a
princess , but was soon lost sight of in the
gathering darkness. Where she spent the
night no one seems to know. Monday morn
ing , however , she again appeared on the
streets , nnd inquired for work In different
parts of the city. Her movements wore all
made m a modest , business-liko way , and
she passed from mind almost us rapidly as
she was dismissed from place to place.
No one suspicionea that she was prying for
Jewelry or articles of value wherever she
wont. During the day Express Agent Teas'
wife discovered that her elegant gold watch ,
presented to her by her husband , was miss
ing. It suddenly dawned upon her that it
Lad been stolen. Other ladies reported arti
cles of nominal value missing. And ,
stranger , wherever articles were missed
they were shadowed by the preseneo of the
nlco looking colored woman a short time be
fore. Two nnd two were put together , nnd
yesterday morning the impression prevailed
tFtnt the df.ky maid seeking work tlio day
prior was a crook of the slickest kind , and
would bear arrest for ROIIOB.U re-
Bulls if nothing more. Her de
scription was put into the hands
of the police force , but the search made for
'lior has been in vain. She folded her tent
nnd loft ns suddenly and quietly as she
camo. lu the language of the Call , she is
thus far a winner to the tune of over $200.
The search for her , however , continues , and
will bo kept up until it is reasonably certain
tlni she has gone "a glimmering. " Moral :
A nlco looking colored girl , about twenty
years old , might bo called a dark mulatto ,
well dressed , medium htuture , regular feat

and searching for work , might bear watch-

How Docs Crow Itcnlly Tnstc ?
"How did it really taste ? "
"
The question was"put to Professor K.
L. Morse , the young Harvard man , who
paid an election bet by eating u dish of
crow in South Chicago recently. It was
put seriously to the professor as an odu-
euted man capable of describing bis ex
perience by a gourmet who is not averse
to treating bib painto to a now sensa
tion when properly recommended.
"It has a decided gamy ilavor. " said
the professor. ' 'To persons fond of wild
meat this will not be a drawback. The
Ilavor , in fact , is not as strong us that of
borne wood cock or even rail that 1 have
eaten. The crow [ ate was probably
young , us it was tender nearly as
tender as si half-grown grouse. I only
spealc for ono of this ngo , "
"How was it cooked ? "
"Mine was baked plain , and served
merely with some cress. I disdained , to
shirk full payment of my wager by a
resort to French cooking. Besides ,
when I found I bad it to do , I was really
curious to know how the bird tasted.
So 1 did not permit it to be stulTod with
soiccs or disguised by a sauce. I ate
crow. "
"Now , honor bright , can you recom
mend it ? "
"That depends , " reflectively answered
the professor. "You see , this bird lias
so long posed as a creature of ill-onion ,
it is blessed with so coarse an appetite
itself , and tradition and common opin
ion have so long maligned it that 1
couldn't recommend it to one whose
palate is much allected by his imagina
tion. But to a man who can sit down to
table oblivious of superstition and ridi
cule , I should say crow might take its
place along witn prairie chicken or
woodcock on his menu. I can say for
myself that I should have thought the
bird I ate belonged to one of the edible
game species , without any suspicion of
crow , had I not known beforehand what
it was. "
"Tho crow , then , is not so black as he
is painted ? " said the inquiring epicure ,
encouraged.
"By no means. It would not surprise
mo to see crow take its place some day
at Dolmonico's or Kinsley's among the
fashionable game dishes. Other lirds
of its Ilavor are becoming scarce except
in the wilder parts of the country.
The crow , on the other hand , oilers
tempting facilities to murketmen al
most at their doors. "
"Well , " philosophized the corn-mot ,
as the conversation drew to a close ,
"stranger things have happened in gas
tronomy than tlie ono you predict. The
jackdaw of Khoiins , in snito of a ban
by the priesthood , was once relished by
Preach noblomen. Peacocks and par
rots were cooked whole in their plum
age in the time of the fastidious Ilolio-
gabalus. Nowadays wo have French
cooking more wonderful than any
thing to which "history can point. Ah !
there's no telling but what the future
may vet do justice to the crow. If wo
could only got it out of politics , it
would not take so long ! "
Ifyou are about to make a pudding , a
jolly , a cake or other article of pastry ,
don't , my dear madam , if you have a
duo regard for your hut-baud's , your
children'y or your own digestion , use
any other than Van Duxor'a Flavoring
Kxtrnets. They contain no deleterious
chemical ingredient. The sterling
llavorn named arc in every way worthy
of your confidence , since they are deli
cious , pure and highly concentrated.

A Modern CniKoc.i
Philadelphia Ledger : Prof. Lee ,
Bowdoin college , who was the
naturalist of the recent Albatross
expedition , in the South Pacific ocean ,
discovered a modern Cruson on Charles
island , ono of the Galapagos group ,
which was formerly n convict colony of
the Kcquador government. The crow
of the Albatross wore told that Charles )
shuid was uninhabited except by a few
) ! ga nnd other animals left behind by a
'ormor colony. They found , however ,
in old man , nearly naked and with a
long gray beard , who at lirnt seemed
afraid of thorn. "Ho came to the island .
with a .searching party after a valuable
species of mobs , and becoming separa
ted from his companions ho was de
serted. IIo lived on fruit and herbs
nnd had a hut built of the skins of
boasts ho had killed with a pockut-

MKN AN'D MttAsunr.s or HALF A Cnvruuv
15y Hugh MeCulloch. Largo octavo.
Price -M. Published by Charles Scribner's '
Sons , New York.
A more disappointing book was never
issued to the public ! Wo expected
much from Hugh McCttlloeh , because
it Deemed natural that u man who hnd
been so excellent n secretary of the
treasury should bo also a man of sup
erior intellect. We had a right to be
lieve that u man who mingled upon
terms of equality and intimacy with the
greatest men of the union in the most
exciting period of the nation's life
would have preserved borne memories
that would have enlarged and rounded
our knowledge of them. Wo were justi
fied in assuming that in the ripeness of
bis faculties the bale and hearty
septuagenarian , ex-secretary of the
treasury , would give n volume bubbling
over with the wine of true wisdom ,
the quintessence of great stores of ob
served faelH and of matured deductions.
Nothing is further from such great ex
pectations than the actual volume. It
must be a failure from the jioi'itof viowof
publication , because it is tin inferior
production , showing that outside of his
banking operations Hugh McCutloch
was below the average man in intellect
ual grasp. Bal/ae in his wonderful
novels made a specialty of bankers , and
ranked them very low , expressing his
general view by'the declaration that
men could comprehend what Goil
thought of money by the hands
in whioh he placed it. Hugh MeCul-
loch unconsciously hat. verified Balzac.
There is some little interest in the be
ginning of the work , which describes
the Boston of 1S8'2 , and the Indiana of
1833. If the author had comprehended
how little he had to say ot the great
men whom Lincoln gathered around
himself that was new , or that was inter
esting , he would have made much more
of this part than ho has done. In his
connection with the state bank of Indi
um , lie could have shown to perfection
Lho manner in which that institution
liclped to build up the state , and ho
could have explained thoroughly the
real functions which banking should
Dorform. lie knows this to the red
heart's rcddob.tcorebutinstoad of telling
us what all wish to know , and what no
one can toll as well as ho , he devotes
the greater part of his book to com-
iientaries of the public men of the
Lincoln era , taken mostly from the pub-
.io press with some faint additions of his
own. Wo are living at a time wliou
there is a strong and widespread dis
satisfaction with the national banks
juscd upon many things , but chiefly
upon two. The first is tlmt they have
made themselves parties to the sale of
railroad bonds issued in defiance of law ,
and in direct violation of the rights of
stockholders , and have carried this to
such a pitch of audacious contempt of
oublic opinion , and disregard for public
norality that they have become a
scandal and a reproach to the American
mine. The second is that as b.v the
very nature of their charters they mu.st
como to an end with the payment of the
uitlonal debt , they have formed an
association to provoiitand delay its pny-
nont , and this has resulted in the
) uildingup of a huge yearly surplus ,
niich of which is wasted in needless
appropriations.
i\o one better than Hugh McCulloeh
could in an incidental fashion have
javod the way for a return to a state
system of banking based upon just such
i bank as that with which he hud so
nuch to do. If ho had ( rene into the de-
ails of the work done by the branches ,
ve might have found in a return to buch
mnkintr a remedy for those agricultural
oeustbIn human form that cat up our
vobtern and northwestern farmers with
isury. Those posts take advantage of
ho fact that the national banks do not
> orform the functions of agricultural
Minks , and the farmer who wishes to
> orrow money is compelled to have re
course to them , and they skin him
ilivc. Recently in Dakota a farmer
vho borrowed $ , ' { 00 was compelled to
give his note for $350 , and to pay 1 per
lout a month interest. The business of
oaning to farmers is ono essentially
connected with the prosperity of a face-
Jon so absolutely agricultural as our
wn. The writer believes that the state
mnk of Indiana , through its branches ,
lid such a business , but Hugh J le-
L'ullooh has Kept that fact to himself.
) ur present national batik * use their
iinds to loan to great railroad institu-
.ions , to float masses of railroad bonds ,
i > brace up wheat speculators , etc. , but
hey have no use for the bushices of the
arming element.
Like a certain old man who would bo
> ratng ! Verges McCulloeh insists upon
riving us his views as to the merits of
ho union generals during the war. Wo
reinblo at the thought that the C'on-
.ury magazine may engage him to write
lib account of famous battles from what
10 hoard people nay about them who
voro there. And as if tills wore not
enough to condemn his volume , he In
troduces liib views upon the tariff , and .
cpcnts them In u preface. There never
vns so billy an old man. He being a
wil.er , look * upon England as the
rrcal sum of human wisdom and repeats
he tvxioin * of English teachers. 13ut
the poor man confutes hinibclf by bin
nvn reminiscences. Ho bhakob his
loud dolefully , and says : "Oiirtrado
rith South America is lost , gontlonion.
Wo buy colTco of Brazil to the amount

"Wore it not for the wheat and Hour wo

is terrible , very terrible. It stands
to reason that England can manu
facture cheaper than wo can , because
she pays her work people loss. But
England is losing her trade already ana
Germany is grabbing it , because 'Ger
many can manufacture cheaper than
England. Free trade means a race for
cheap production , and this moans mis
ery to the workiiignuui. We i' America
are determined to be out c t.b"UT *
which will soon come to an em. . . .
ruin of all engaged in it , and then whoi
prices come up to their normal .stand
ard all over the world , the United States
will have all the foreign trade that il
cares for. Men of the Kngltsh school
believe prices can be continually forced
down , but this is ridiculous. At tor a
curtain point is reached , prices mnSt go
up , or free trade nations will cease to
manufacture. In the moan vhiln Old
Verges McCulloeh gives us a good idea
of those halcyon days when Boston har
bor was full of American ships , doing a
roaring trade to everywhere. ' 'Oats
were 0 cents a bushel in Indianapolis ,
chickens 50 cents a dozen , eggs . ' ! cents
ado/.en.beef and porkiij centsapouiid. "
Dead wood is somewhat isolated , and
therefore prices cannot be very high ,
but if the curious reader wishes to
know how these times compare with
tho-.e , let him find out the prices paid
there on those commodities. The Hour-
ing mills there < ire paying 81 a bushel
for spot wheat.

Philadelphia Ledger : Dr. Henry
Miller , who made $3,000,000 in the man
ufacture of pills , was buried at Wilming
ton , Mass. , recently , in a casket which
cost W.OOO. Four coal black horses car
ried him to a temporary brick tomb
which cost $ ) ( ) ( ) , on a catafalque which

was placed , in a big red cedar box , which

brass screws , which cot SIS. Owi'ng to
the fact that his life ended rather sud
denly , another cqllln equally magnifi

not completed in time for service. When
completed it will have co t aa much as
